CoderBuddy welcomes remote workers. Our goal is to revolutionize software development. Our founder is a pioneer of social networking and founding investor in Napster. Our angel investors include Internet entrepreneurs who have sold their startups to Google (pre-IPO), Microsoft, Yahoo, Fox, etc. Technologies we use include Python, Google App Engine, Django, AJAX. Math ability is a plus. We're looking for developers, a…

Are folks with other technical backgrounds (say C/UNIX, but interested and motivated to learn) welcome?

Thanks for asking.

Folks with other technical backgrounds are welcome. The bar is a bit higher = we are more selective on that. Really we are looking for some web application experience, otherwise the learning curve is a bit too long, generally. [ We have more flexibility on that for in-country-Panama members. ]

So if you don't have Python, but you have Java/Ruby/PHP/Web, that sounds interesting. I would recommend someone with mainly C/Unix start building some websites and webapps of their own w/ something like Python and App Engine (little plug: request an invite to our beta for one way to get started with that). In this day and age, if you really want to be in a startup-oriented environment, it should be difficult for you to not be creating some web apps with these tech's on your own etc.

Later on we may have more flexiblity when our team is larger.

Contact me via email ( at gmail) if interested. For PHP developers, please send along some example code.

Think is hiring iPhone, Android and BlackBerry developers to help improve the existing suite of FaceCash ( http://www.facecash.com ) mobile wallet apps. http://www.thinkcomputer.com/corporate/jobs/index.html is the best way to apply.

"Think employees don't do drugs." What does that mean? - Recurring drug tests? - While working or in their spare time? - No Alkohol, no nicotine, no sugar?

Can't speak for grandparent, but usually this is code for "we had drug problems in the past, _do not want again_."

See, being tolerant towards psyche-affecting material is only cool up until the party, where irreversible data/PR/marketing loss commences, reversing the hard work of multiple month.

TL;DR: know your limits
